Scientists built a robot to help explain how a tropical bat spots insects perched on leaves using echolocation, a highly ...

Why do researchers think big-eared bats can find hidden insects without having to scrutinize every leaf in a forest?Their ...

Bats are well known for their ability to “see” with sound, using echolocation to find food and their roosts. Some bats may also conceive a map made of sounds from their home range. This map can help ...

(CN) — Bats might not lead the most exciting lives, but they do have one real-life superpower that aids in their evening hunts for insect dinners: echolocation. In a new study published by the ...

Bats are nocturnal hunters and use echolocation to orientate themselves by emitting high-frequency ultrasonic sounds in rapid succession and evaluating the calls’ reflections. Yet, they have retained ...

When people say bats “screech,” they are usually talking about echolocation calls. Many bats send out very loud ultrasonic ...

Most of us associate echolocation with bats. These amazing creatures are able to chirp at frequencies beyond the limit of our hearing, and they use the reflected sound to map the world around them. It ...

Bats are nocturnal hunters and use echolocation to orient themselves by emitting high-frequency ultrasonic sounds in rapid succession and evaluating the calls' reflections. Yet, they have retained a ...

Most bats use echolocation to navigate and hunt, but some use their ears for another trick: eavesdropping. Hunt like a bat! How baby bats learn to eavesdrop on their next meal There are over 1400 ...

I said something similar in another article thread recently, but even though the hypothesis was widely expected to be true, it still represents good science to finally get around to testing it and ...

Species differ in vulnerability to anthropogenic land use changes. Knowledge of the mechanisms driving differential sensitivity can inform conservation strategies but is generally lacking for ...

Bat perception has been examined for decades as a problem of sensory reach rather than animal intelligence. Many species ...
